You may have read in an earlier post that we removed the wood-burning fireplace from the living room. Well, we also needed to remove the chimney on the side of the house. We will be putting up new siding soon and needed the chimney to be gone. So Mark climbed up on the roof and unhooked the flashing in preparation for my brother coming over to help take it down. It was a two story heavy thing. Seemed like it would be at least a 2 person job. Well after he got it separated from the roof, he gave it a little push with the his foot to test how much effort it might take to remove it. "Hmmmmm it seems pretty loose" thought Mark. He gave it another push with a pry bar. It was hanging, creaking and swunging a little in the breeze. Then WOOOSH it crashed into a tree and fell to the ground. Wow that was easy. I wish I had captured it on video.
All that was left was a nasty mess on the ground, a hole in the wall and a missing section in the roof.

| Matt had a great time smashing this apart with a sledge hammer and the sawzall. |
 |
| Didn't I do a good job cleaning up the mess? It's all in the dumpster now. |
 |
| We didn't have time at the end of the day to repair the side of the house. |
 |
| Our new security system. We were sure that the ladder would prevent anyone from getting in. |
 |
| Ready for siding on the outside |
 |
| And sheetrock on the inside |
 |
| Patching the hole on the roof |
 |
| Just needs shingles which have been added but I don't have a new picture |
